Have your say & ask the experts

Does anyone know whether any of Slayer's 80's albums have been remastered?

It seems that Reign in Blood has, and it sounds okay, but South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss sound flat and undynamic, so I could really use a pair of skillfully remastered edition of those two seminal albums. 

But do they exist?

Has it? When was that done? I bought that on CD not that long ago, I didn't notice anything about it being remastered, is that the version with the extra tracks (Aggressive Perfector and a remix I think)?

Yep, that version is supposed to be remastered, i have read on several forums. People also talk about a 2007 remastered edition of the mentioned albums, but I can't find them anywhere. They all say 1986,1988 and 1990 and not 2007 anywhere on the back.

If so, it's news to me.

Ditto. Seems they have been tho http://www.slaytanic.com/news.html.

Yep, I saw it on that site too.

I just check stocks on Play and HMV and couldn't find any remaster.  Anyway, many Metal re-master never sound quite as organic as the original, I bought the whole digital remasters collection of Motley Crews, Ozzy, Bon Jovi and none sound as good as the original set, imo.  There are some band that done it well though, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple for example but for most of the time....waste of money!
